Saw this on X. It's women's stated rankings versus what they actually pick. Higher means lower ranked. What matters is what is outside of the line.
I have found a translation (thanks Grok!). Checking on whether this qualified for weekday content!
I found a strong and independent woman perhaps good for weekday content but with a catch: En Espanol!!! Can someone create a translation transcript? Feel free to take credit: x.com/i/status/2028892075513557104 Tiktok source: www.tiktok.com/@dravirginiasacco/video/7611605216940543240
@Vermillion-Rx In the (weekday content) preview I showed you, she complained about wanting a family and children and such so that's pretty commitment. It will be discussed on wednesday when posted.
Let's consider: 39 year old women now were basically 21 about, say, 2008. That generation of women came of age when dating apps had just come out. They started to gain traction just as these women got out of university and due to MeToo and Anita Hill, the number of men hitting on them at work was largely depleted.
I saw back in the 1990's that women were starting to see the well dry up but not as bad perhaps because the full socio-economic impact hadn't yet fully metastasized. By Y2K, they had true "equality": There weren't any more boomers of elder GenX guys to latch onto. All the millennial men were earning (yuck!) the SAME they did. Yuck yuck yuck!
Now they have a fucked up (pardon the french) economy and society they created. We hear how happy they are single and buying homes but the bills are literally coming due. The cost of (literally) living is sky high. At 39, the river in egypt (denial) can no longer flow. It's make or break and they're broken.
FYI, my wife had my daughter at age 39. (Long story, let's just say Chernobyl and Anthracite Coal country played a role). But that was a miracle child and I kiss her every day. You don't win by planning for miracles, you plan to not need one.
Read More@Vermillion-Rx There's a lot of good material out there. The problem is Rule 5 in that these women are so utterly delusional, that they refuse to talk about "commitment" since they believe that marriage is largely just single women hanging around men for a while collecting resources until she gets bored. They don't even bother with the presumption of "commitment" or marriage. Note: I saw this metastasizing during the 1980's when women shamed each other for saying they wanted to get married and probably why a man talking about marriage or family before sleeping with a woman in normal dating now is an "ick" that gets her turned off.
@SwarmShawarma Thanks! I have a LOT to catch up on this weekend but will try to watch them.
@Kloi I'm officially done with over-tipping. My general rule is that they shouldn't make more than $50k/year such as when I worked as a clerk or heck, even my wife BUT they do deserve a living wage. I do the math: If they have 4 tables and they're busy between them, for an average of a 90 minute dining experience, that comes out to a total of 8 tables over the course of 3 hours, or 2.6 tables an hour. For a $50/hour wage, that's about $20 tips sufficient regardless of the total check. I am not tipping someone $40 for carrying a $200 bottle of wine to my table.
I'm amazed that there are still people going out for fine dining regularly.
Update. WTF? A pretty woman got a 70% like rating while an absolute Chad (from Ukraine, hehehe) got only 2%, repeat, 2% likes from women.
I begin to wonder if modern women have been so drowned with validation, feminism, etc. that they've become ambivalent and asexual?
For your amusement, a guy playing with Tinder scammers but also commentary on the state of Tinder. I pity these thirsty men. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHK8GAtmrVA
@First-light At my work there's a verboten policy on microwave popcorn and I guess this is why. It's that dangerous. I read that the bags the microwave popcorn come in have a lot of chemicals so considering going the jar route and just popping them in a pot.
